Chapter 32
Ventriloquist
One week has passed. Until now, Fiore hasn't explained anything to me. I had a hint that the woman was one of his business investors, Ms Aicheng. But why did she hug Fiore like that? Why the heck did she kiss him on his lips?
"Mir, are you done?" Fiore called me. I'm inside the bathroom looking at myself in front of a mirror.
"Just a minute," I answered but couldn't move.
It's been a week. Fiore went back and forth to his so-called project. He hasn’t fulfilled any promised dinner ever since. I constantly eat alone. After he drinks his coffee in the morning, he will leave immediately. He's always in a hurry. And he never even kisses me before storming off. Often, he would come home when I was already asleep. We haven't

No LabelSomeone suddenly cleared his throat. It was Xylon who’s now looking at us steadfastly. I bit my lip in extreme embarrassment. I could hardly look at Fiore anymore. I could feel all eyes were on me. Mocking me. Telling me, I don't belong here."If you’ll allow me, Fiore..." We both looked in Xylon’s direction —who was exchanging glances at me and Fiore— while his hand was still holding Ms Aicheng's elbow like a real gentleman. "Ms Ai, meet Ms Miranda Forbes. My ex."A black butterfly landed on my head. I was stained with black pixie dust and my face turned pale."Oh?" The girl covered her mouth like she couldn't comprehend what she just heard. Neither do I! "Well, it's nice meeting you. O-Of course yo

The TruthI laughed quietly at myself. What a fool I was to still have feelings for Xylon. This unexplainable sensation that I couldn't fathom until now."Stop talking, Xyle! It was never your fault," I said without looking at him."You still have feelings for Fiore. I should not have insisted in the first place.""You didn't force me.""Still, I took advantage of you.""I'm not a wimp because I can fight if I want to!" I let out a sigh.Truth be told, whatever that thing is? It was memorable for me. If I was sorry for what happened between us back then, the night we spent

The BrotherI was trying to hide the awful look on my face by hugging the black pillow. I could hear the familiar, sentimental music around me. Simultaneous with the familiar voices while I shut my mind of everything."Angel, what happened?""Camish, let’s leave her alone. Mir has been like that since she came back from Hong Kong.""Did that jerk do something bad to you? Tell me. I knew that Fiore was an arse!"I cried even more. I wanted to disappear like a bubble. To be driven away by the wind and completely be erased.I hate this feeling. I felt betrayed and chastised. Even though I kept on telling myself not to cry, my eyes were so stubbo

DispleasureIf I could only see my reflection in a mirror, I know that my cheeks were red as a cherry. My chest throbbed so fast I couldn't properly breathe."Kuya! I thought you’re arriving tomorrow?" Sheena hugged him. As if they hadn't seen each other for a long period. Xylon returned the hug.I began to wonder why she called him ‘Kuya’. ‘Does that mean they're siblings? Xylon was Sheena’s brother?’"They gave me the contract earlier than expected so I went here straight away." A deep voice coming from him sent shivers down my spine that I couldn't move from where I was standing.His eyes settled on me. I turned to Camish who was also looking at me with a

New BoyfriendIt was like having a dream. The phrase ‘a little paradise’ was ideal. I had fallen asleep earlier and had forgotten about the time. I was on my way to a very peaceful and calm place. I realised I wasn't in my room when I awoke. The sound of the spring that surrounds the house could still be heard. I could imagine the trees with fresh fruits and green leaves that sway in the late afternoon breeze.I looked out the huge window and enjoyed the wind on my face. The last time I felt this rejuvenated was during my visit to Fiore's ancestral home with his best friend.I gave a bitter smile. When I think back on those days, they taste like acid and make me want to puke.I have my own space. Camish and Caleb each have one

Love Him“Have you met him before, Angel?" Camish's question bewildered me.I couldn't focus on Xylon's serious expressions or the protruding muscles in his arms."Uh... Of course not!" I flatly refused. "It's my first time at this resort. How is it possible that I would have known him?"I mustered the courage to confront Xylon. "I don't know who you are, mister. Also, please don't follow me around like a dog. You're getting on my nerves."Xylon smirked at me. "Who said I was following you? Miss, you’re blocking my way...” Then he walked ahead of us.I was filled with embarrassment. I tried to catch him and when I was already standing next t

Meet ThemMy hair moved with the wind. My face was being buffeted by the cold gust. The sun has set, and it's almost time to hit the hay sack. Even at night, the resort was adequately illuminatedbecause of the mellow lights with faded colours all around the area.I took a seat on a long, teak bench next to a tall mango tree. It wasn't far from the inn, but they probably won't notice me here.Something in the distance captured my attention. I looked around to see if the twins had instantly followed me. I turned around to recognize the familiar enormous dog approaching."Hey, buddy. What are you doing here?" I asked foolishly, smiling. I was wondering why I wasn't scared of the same huge Ge

PatheticWhen he saw Xylon, the dog immediately stood up. It is, without a doubt, his pet. And there was no way the jitters would go away after I admitted to myself that I harboured a feeling for him."How's it going, son? Did you get the contract? How was your piece? Tell me, what happened?" Mother Nena asked vigorously. She was clutching his son's arm.When Xylon cast a brief glance my way, I averted my gaze. I couldn't even look him in the eyes anymore."Mom, you were right. They liked it so much that they proposed I sign a two-year contract..." he announced."Is that true? That's great! You've been wanting to do this for a long time, haven't you?" Mother Nena's reactions were filled with joy for her son. I
